Great advice! We bought a new dryer because our old one was taking too long to dry,well our new one did too. My husband did this and it started dryer alot faster.We probably didn't really need a new dryer. Have your husband do this,also make sure your vent hose isn't in a bind, make sure you don't over load it,the clothes should be able to tumble freely. You will save more time and money by doing average size loads.
Also the towel trick works great for small loads.

That "shoot has a cover on it held in place with screws... some you need to take the entire shoot out and clear all the debris. You will be surprized AT what gets past the lint trap. I found pretty close to $25 dollars in bills and change doing this one time. Your dyer will work much better after cleaning it out
